An exploration of the true history of the Luddites and why their values align with modern Linux, Open Source, and FOSS movements. Luddites weren’t against technology itself—they resisted its use as a tool to undermine worker dignity, lower wages, cheapen products, and concentrate wealth and power in the hands of the capitalist class.

Hello #Fediverse! 👋

I’m currently working on a new project: cupertino.social - a future home for the Apple community here on the decentralized web.

I’m building this because I believe we need a space that combines the elegance of the Apple ecosystem with the ethical soul of the Fediverse. A place for those who love the "Unix heart" of their devices and value privacy as a fundamental right.

We are currently "under construction," fine-tuning the infrastructure (strictly European-hosted and independent!) to ensure a smooth, clean, and respectful experience.

Stay tuned for the official launch post soon. I can’t wait to share this journey with you all.
